"That's 3 minutes," proved everything this man was saying to be true.
This is the exact same thought I had
He should have said, point proven, I rest my case.
my dude, it was what i was thinking, thank you for voicing this
@@emphasis4332 I'm not sure what you're trying to say. He was able to make his point and them reminding him he had 3 minutes proved what he was saying. That is that the entire system is a joke designed for control, not growth.
@@fadhli179 Absolutely. Our voices matter, my guy.
So quick to remind him of his 3 minutes but late, negligent, and reluctant to reply to his email a month ago.
well im sure when he did his thesis the examiner reminded him of the remaining time.
He’s not doing an exam here and his words are very much worth a few second to listen to, but then again the board have no intention of doing so since they probably heard it all before hence the silence on the email front.
I was gonna say the same thing. If they replied to his email, then he would said what he wanted to say in less than 3 minutes.
Yeah, he was speaking WAY too much truth!
Thinking the same thing. So dismissive that the only response was to remind him it was time to shut up. Which just proves the whole point he was making. Disgusting.
He was a teacher at MY high school and while I didn't have him, everyone knew about him as a loving and wonderful person and teacher. I never once heard anything bad about him and the fact that this school system lost someone as good as him and did not respect him in any way whatsoever is ridiculous. I am so proud of him and so embarrassed by the school system that treated not only this man terribly but all other teachers as well. Thank you so much for covering this.
the good teachers who care..have the courage to speak like that... you guys are lucky to have such teachers...

Absolutely on the mark. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was really 2min and 58 sec when they called it.
"School is bad for Children" this comment-section literally partially says.
Not all, but some.
Uhm... yeah... may i point out the massive, gigantic Issue with that mere Idea
or can i just drop the word Flat-Earther and leave it with that?
Yep they don’t listen

That's 3 minutes.
That is literally what he was talking about. No respect for teachers.
No. The lack of respect for teachers that he was talking about is in the fact that after his speech they still voted for decreasing safety measures, with absolutely no amendment to the proposal they had before his speech.
@@orchardlea yeah, that too. And the list goes on... I doubt they even actually 'listen' to the 3 min speech 💁
That is the highlight of his existence. Ofcourse he would cherish it.
@@orchardlea You missed the point. They SHOW they have no respect while he was talking about them not having respect for teachers by saying 'That's 3 minutes'.
It's the absurdity.
@Yuri Bezmenov찾아보세요 부탁입니다 SATs/ACTs aren't a great way to test children on their abilities. In fact, SATs/ACTs dont really serve a purpose.
And children have always come home from school learning about social interactions because English classes literally teach you about the time period a piece of literature was written and how it contrasts in today's society. History class teaches you about not just wars but also the union strikes and how it affected the laws on meat production and processing.
Math teaches you to conceptualize the value of the items, to know the interest rates on loans.
You just think that all school subjects should be taught in a vacuum when that has literally never been the case at all
You know when you hear that man saying “that’s 3 minutes” it feels like the leaders of the board weren’t really listening to what the teacher was trying to say. Counting the clock instead of listening. What a shame
Kind of like congress.
@@ese_cholito True, but in a lot of cases the time that they give people isn't fair. There are cases where one group gets more time than another group.
Ironic if you think about it. Because of what they've done to education students don't retain information anymore. They just look at the clock and wait for the class and the day to be over. They hated their jobs so much they projected onto students.
@@tasneemahmed5821
Absolutely NOT true.
The majority of teachers love their jobs and the students they teach.
My granddaughter has wonderful teachers...even during COVID.
She's a straight-A student, has a boyfriend, and works two part-time jobs.
She's headed off to college in the fall.
And, she is NOT the exception, if that were true, there wouldn't be waiting lists to get into college.
@@tasneemahmed5821 that, you gotta blame the education system for. Everything is boiled down to good great rather than good knowledges. Good knowledges doesn’t make them “reputable” but good grades does.
When they called three minutes, he should have hit them with the "The timer doesn't dismiss you, I do."
That doesn’t make sense
@@N0SEY yes it does
That would've been so badass mate
@@rapturelimited534 yeah lol

They only lisen to parents and those parents that are lazy and stay home and send kids sick to school.
Teachers need to be respected. They work so hard and get paid too little
Teachers are underpaid, overworked (US teachers work ~40% more than in countries with better education), not respected and ignored.
But that's actually only part of the problem. The whole education system in the US of A needs to change. Not the least of which is the treatment of the employees - not only teachers.
@@ArschvomDienst Is that why they choose to teach hatred, racism & distorted history? They think they can use taxpayer dollars to brainwash kids against Trump. I'm watching from overseas. Might be an idea in the medium term to replace the lot of them. Or just allow school choice & new teachers to fill new schools. It's the human potential that we need to teach, nurture, optimise...not negative, low self esteem, low 'clear thinking' ability & wrote learning slavery...
Not the teachers of that district... grosse pointe is one of the richest cities in Michigan. Big $
@@michaellloyd8594 ignoring the myth of “schools are brainwashing our children”. Who do you think will fill in the spots left from firing any teacher that’s isn’t politically correct? We don’t even have the money or teachers to replace the bad teachers we have today.

"That's 3 minutes." That board member couldn't have been more obvious proving this Teacher's point. They really don't care!
Usually it’s a separate entity that calls time.
@@jendubay3782 GTFO.
@@JSkyGemini you belong on the board.
@@JSkyGemini nice haircut
it's called being professional, if you're given 3 mins then it's 3 mins, no more. Just because the content is good doesn't mean you get the privilege to extend the time
This board is shameless, instead of listening to this teacher, they are timing him. Schools are losing good teachers and replacing them with substitutes
I work in politics and while I do hate it unfortunately those timing rules are what we have to do. I love the point this guy was making and think this school board sucks You'll see this no matter where you are and how progressive it is. I am not defending the school board, but parliamentary procedure is considered sacred, like a sort of rule of law. I see pros and cons to it. Still most people don't know parliamentary procedure which is common in political parties and school boards, so I hope I informed you. You can dislike it fine by me, but I do want to point it out. Because a lot of people misinterpret following parliamentary procedure as lack of care. While this school board definitely didn't, I do feel it's unfair to mischaracterize the issue. There's many worse things to blame them here for.
@@deiansalazar140 Thank you didnt know about the timing rules.
@Ditmar Kriegisch I don't deny. Though I will note it's not bureaucrats. I work in a volunteer based party of people with many different genders, ethnicities, religions, ages, and diverse political views and it's still like this. It's considered vital to the functioning of any political organization, to have a firm consistent system of rules all things are held to. I'm not defending it. I just get irked about misinterpretations and misrepresentations. Make up your own mind on if it's good or not.
This is absolutely true. Long term subs are not teachers.
That may be one of the reasons why parents are taking their kids away from public schools altogether.
The teacher has got bigger balls than all the members of board combined. He sure can talk.
A qualified teacher like him has to follow orders from some urban bullies is very disappointing.
Well, of course He can talk. He already quit the job...
It’s unfortunate that his students are losing him, as he seems like a valuable educator.
Exactly! Schools need teachers who care about their school and students. I'm glad at the time I went to school over 30 years ago, teachers were qualified, cared about their students and education was a priority. What's happening now to education, protocols and teachers are a disservice. If students and teachers are not happy with the current system, there is no progress. It's failing across this country in record numbers and not keeping people safe is not high on some people's agenda. SMDFH!
Speaking as a former student of his, he was one of the best.
A man that passionate about teaching will not be lost to students. I bet you he will keep teaching. It’s unfortunate that his school is losing him but maybe just maybe his voice will be heard and he can help change things.
We are unfortunate as society lost a good teacher who could have build some great leaders
I hate they didn't even listen to his speech about the concerns that he and all other teachers had and in the end they shortened the distance from 6 to 3 feet and the length of days for a kid to be out if they have Covid from 14 to 10. What a slap in the face!!
Now that's how you make a statement. I'm proud that he didn't hold his tongue and let them have it before he left.
He made an excellent point, they trust teachers to treat bullet wounds but not educational decisions.
But now the only people willing to take his job are religious nuts or WS.
@@ese_cholito but they're not teaching critical race theory. So why would you say that?
@@ese_cholito if you want to talk about indoctrination, every school on the planet has been indoctrinating people from kindergarten thru University. Every generation has been told to get a good education if you want to succeed. No one ever spoke about the debt they would incur. We have conservative schools that cost over $50,000 a year. What could they possibly be teaching a kindergarten child, that cost over $50,000?
He definitely held his tongue. I've been an educator for 15 years. That was mild, kind, and lovely compared to what I and most of my colleagues would have said!
“That’s 3 minutes” makes me wonder if they were even paying attention, looks like they where dosing off and couldn’t wait for the 3 minute mark.
@Kak Kek You are clearly one of the board members
@Kak Kek so ur saying the education of a future generation is "the most dysfunctional service the government has" you really are the brightest one in the room.
Lmao someone said teachers are a direct result of failure 😂😂😂. Your parents must be proud of you 😂😂
@Kak Kek u just dont understand what he is saying
@Kak Kek Bro he said his educational qualifications because he wants to show the board members that he knows what’s going on in the classroom and have years of experience to make a better decision as the board members don’t even know what going on in the class and don’t go to school if you hate Teachers let’s see if u can learn any basic knowledge
“That’s 3 minutes”. Literally proving his point.
I mean even if they’re in awe of his speech, everyone can only have a certain amount of time, but I doubt they even listened
@ can they not spare a few extra minutes to listen to him?
@ Ok, but are 3 minute going to change the entire course of their day?
@ A presidential speech isn't comparable to a 10 minute max of a retired teacher speaking to the board. I highly doubt that they spend the entire day listening to retired teachers to 'be fair' to all of them
@ do you know what the board even does
It's funny how the ones who know nothing about a job are always the ones in charge of that job and making the most profit from the workers.
It's the American way
That's always in every professional
Kind of like how Activision handles the Call of Duty franchise. Only the developers know how the product works, but the publisher does not.

That board member's entire career should have lasted for 3 minutes.
Agreed. It’s crazy how people on the education board don’t really care about the educators.
I would have loved this to be his response when that man said .."that's 3 minutes!"
His response of “That’s 3 minutes” shows how much he cares and how much he respects the teachers and what they are saying, which is sadly none. They don’t care and that is what sucks.
@R Lol you are not a Indian for sure or else you would have known how good Indian teachers are
@R , n they do not take such risks of voicing their opinion coz getting free salary is more valuable for them than career of students.
To quote my teacher
“Our main problem is that these men behind their big mahogany desks with the little nameplate who have never stepped in a school in their life are making these big decisions”
True
Your teachers sounds cool.

"You don't respect us. If you respected us, you'd listen to us." Truer words have never been spoken.
When they said “that’s three minutes”. He should have said, “congratulations. You morons have officially proven my point”.
The “that’s 3 minutes” line just proved everything he was saying, especially that line in your comment.
Listening is the first step to learning.. how scary that people running the education system have never "learned"
The board didn't even cared to listen to him and just called him off like that after three minutes. That's so much of free speech for you Americans.

"That's 3 minutes." Proves his point exactly.
1k and no comments?
Izzy this school board was horrible. As a Progressive I am disgusted. But I also work in politics and have to say parliamentary procedure is considered sacred, especially on school boards. It's considered a political rule of law that keeps order and allows politics to function. So while this school board is terrible, I work in politics and want to point out the truth of the situation. Everything they did besides that, including ignoring his point and complaints, were terrible.
But that timing thing while showing how they didn't care by not saying something positive with it, isn't awful by itself. Keeping strict timing is essential to a lot of political procedure and allowing groups to function without devolving into chaos. I hope I helped, I am no apologist and fully side with the teacher here.
Those board members get paid 6 figures to LITERALLY do nothing. They’d be perfect politicians.

So you silenced yourself by leaving? Ok

Right. School teachers are exempt from following rules the rest of us heed.
He should come to Finland. Here we respect teachers and need more ppl like him :)
It's really bad everywhere in the world, how teachers are underrated...they need to keep fighting to get their breakthrough not just to achieve respect they deserve but also favourable pay.

And they couldn’t even offer the respect of letting him finish.

He’s so eloquent, as teachers are. I’m sure the students will miss him, and the school will miss out on having someone so highly skilled.
I can't really say he is eloquent, but he did try his best to express his view.
@@snowflower2128 idk, he sounded pretty eloquent to me. Especially with the amount of time he had to make his point, he used his words very well.
@@gooselaughter5149 He looked at his note a few times, pausing here and there, and sometimes look down, not keeping his eye contact with the people he wanted to antagonize. The impact of his speech reduced by half because of it, some may even think he wasn't serious about the whole thing since he didn't memorize what he should say to everyone. Still, like I said, effort was made.
@@snowflower2128 so... he gave a normal speech? It's kind of odd that you're nitpicking something that had no bearing on his words or his message. Notes and not constantly making eye contact (?🤣🤦) don't detract from an impactful message. In fact, I think it helps if you're not having a staring contest with your audience the entire time you're addressing them. I strongly disagree with your assessment. Real life speeches don't happen like they do in movies. Most average people don't speak like professional actors; that's an arbitrary standard to hold them to. Weird that you're basing the impact of his speech on how he said things and not on what he said.

They couldn't even be bothered to read or even reply to his email, which could've helped them avoid this maelstrom entirely in the 1st place. They simply don't care.
This is exactly how every city council meeting goes. Excepting, I believe one gets 2 minutes, to try to sway thinking on extremely important decisions. I have witnessed council members sending emails and texts while a speaker was presenting (i know this because I was the one that was being sent the emails and texts, and they did not know I was in the room). This model needs to change, but it will not without mass demand, because this model serves the needs of the council or the board, who have placed themselves or we have placed them, in the superior hierarchical position.

And that's longer than the time you spent caring about the educational system, the teachers and their students
I was a pre school teacher and loved it, after being forced into taking shifts and longer hours I was $20 over the threshold for food stamps, I have a young special needs child at home and was only making $10/hr and couldn't afford food without them. I pleaded to HR and they basically shrugged it off, even though my son had been a beloved student 1 year prior. Afterwards I contracted covid and was sick for 5 weeks, after the 10 day covid sick leave my boss called me to tell me that I no longer had covid was therefore healthy and had to come back to work. I had to tell them that I couldn't risk my students, their families and my coworkers lives while I was still waiting to see if I would even survive. I was forced into quitting, and ended up developing chronic health issues after the fact. The American education system is appalling, they do not care for the kids or the teachers and staff. This man did what I wish I could do.
School Boards need to be made up of retired teachers or someone else who is more qualified.
@DiaKorrus 18 "New experienced" is an oxymoron.
School Boards or Financial Boards in the local county didn't earn any money. They are volunteered, not many people get involved. Guess who's involved in my local county Financial Boards, republicons who work in house painter and blue collar business. They won't do anything to improve the county. Here is their excuses, we don't have budget to do anything OR we don't want BIG government. To me, they are too lazy period. I KICK all republicons OUT every chance I got. RIH GQP.

Amen to that. - Not a parent, but still agreeing with you.
Thank you . As a teacher you must first have the passion and the drive to do it... and that it is not whatever or whomever may come your way in the class room. I salute all my fellow teachers out there
As a teacher.....🙏💕
As a student I appreciate all my teachers for putting in the efforts they put to educate us inspite of the problems we all have faced be it slow internet , home problems, etc
Hear hear! Outstanding words.
This teacher is from a school within my district, and he is spitting facts, the teachers are fed up with being told what to do.
Hello fellow GP person. Yeah, I hate the school board with a passion.
Fed up with being told what to do ... sounds like every job ever.
Things got so unworthy of the support of board when they said “3 minutes".
I am so glad to hear a passionate teacher like this man. He deserves to be treated better. Just all the other teachers that deserve respect ✊🏻
Demolish the freaking school board, it doesn’t even make sense. This needs to go viral even more
How about having actual teachers as part of the board. They should be those with years of experience with actual credentials. Like maybe retired teachers.
That and do not transfer control over to the Mayor's Office (e.g., look at NYC). School boards should be composed of actual teachers.
"That's three minutes."
You could really tell they cared for the fiery speech. Well, time to get a school board replaced.
That was basically a "are you done?" so disrespectful.
Thank you SO MUCH for this inspirational speech!!!!👍👏👏👏👏
The best teachers lead by example. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Fyi, for commenters talking about red states, this is happening in blue states too. Teachers are not being listened to about covid safety protocols all over the country. My sister lives in Washington state, and her school ended up suing the board for this very reason. (No results yet, unfortunately.)
yeah, I'm also in Wa and the way things are opening up are just... wtf
It's a plan. The good teachers are going to leave so religious nut jobs and WS will take their place.
Yeah it sucks teachers have never been respected or appreciated anywhere here. :( my teacher spent her life educating herself and others only to have to work three jobs one of them being a college professor to afford living.
@Sean Fhhk Good Lord, Mr. Delusional. Tell that to the nearly 52K in Texas WHO ARE DEAD FROM COVID. IN Texas!!
@Sean Fhhk Dallas County reported 2,011 new covid cases in the last 14 days, reported by county health department. Three friends of my family have died of covid in Texas. Just because you don't talk about or want it to be true doesn't mean it isn't.
I am also a high school teacher with two university degrees and 11 years of experience. I am retiring from teaching in 14 days. I LOVE my kids. I am DONE with principals, counselors, and Covid. 🙋🏻♂️ P.S. I have been in the classroom since early October.
I retired as well! 25 years experience teaching both elementary and high school finished. I have always been happiest when I am teaching, I wasn't ready to give it up quite yet.😔
All the best guys
Thank you for your service
thank you for working so hard :(
@@oranjmusemeyer968 thank you for your work!! i’m sure your students loved you very much
I need this kind of teacher in my Country
Respect is everything.
I loved how he put in their faces how they enjoy a space between them that doesn't exist in the classroom. I loved the crowd clapping after his 3 minutes to stretch out his time even longer.
All about getting to the top of the pyramid not about the educators or students. They can't respond to his email but has the bleeping nerves to remind him about the lousy 3 minutes.
"Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together. Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today" Hats off to this teacher for saying it as it is. I absolutely agree with him 100% ♥️
thats a beautiful insight 👍🏽
l miss him he teaches me and I respected him he is a kind of teacher who u can properly call teacher
The way he speaks, I can tell hes a passionate teacher. I'd listen to his lectures
Myth: Unions are Useless, Strikes are Bad.
Reality: The Great-Resignation-Coverage and Worker-Right Videos
of 'Some More News' and 'Second Thought exist.
He was passionate about not working.😂 He wasn't being passionate as much as throwing a temper tantrum.😂
"How many teachers need to leave, before you start to listen" wow..
they won’t listen, their paycheque is at stake. all they care about is the money they can bring home after budget cut
Then why hire teachers in the first place?
-Some communist comrade
I'm honestly surprised that they didn't try and interrupt or cut his mic--oh, I stand corrected.
These boards are amazing in how they bleed ineptitude and can't take criticism and yet collect a nice fat paycheck.
Teachers can still be heard, cutting the mic would have minimal impact
@Liz Collinson
LOL. I was gonna say-if there’s one thing that isn’t going to work on teachers (ya know, the folks who’ve learned to fill an entire space-packed to the brim with [loud] kiddos-*) with their voices*, is cutting a mic...
Nah. I was a teacher for 12 years and there is, quite literally, no space I can’t make myself heard (yeah, okay, an NFL stadium...sure...but any reasonable space? Nope. That auditorium? Piece. Of. Cake.)
...and, frankly, the potentiality of cutting the mic almost makes his voice louder.
@@chandrawade-mayhue9186 yeah mom was a teacher and yup if I ever want instinctive compliance. I drop an octave, project basically impersonate her "obey" voice.
@Amusement Labs Never expected you in the comment section. Love Your vids btw
@@connorsmith8752 thanks. 🙂
Indeed. I'm very passionate about stuff like this. Just hate how dismissive those people are in just "okay, thanks for your words, we don't care". They're completely indifferent to their concerns. Just disgusting.
And people think I'm crazy for homeschooling my kids. Well, I've seen what my district does and I don't want it for my children. Teachers are heroes but they are stuck in a really messed up system.
YOU GO BOY!! RESPECT!!
Damm, he has some fiery words. Which are good, we should listen to them.
This guy is amazing. My mom is a teacher and is genuinely considering resigning cause the district is trying to push them to return with very little in the way of protections.
Update: She resigned. She was the 6th teacher within 3 weeks to resign.
there is no more covid get a vaccine and are fine
@@shmulischuss8360 thing is, if there's anyone that's gonna unknowingly spread a variant or even foster one asymptomatically and pass it, it's kids. Especially younger kids.
I mean at this point everyone who wants a vaccine can get one. 🤷
@@AmusementLabs even variants have very little ability to infect vaccinated people and pfizer and Moderna both have booster prototypes for variants strains. You are basically arguing for perpetual lockdown or at least a decade long lockdown if you want to wait until covid19 is wiped off the planet before reopening schools. It's not a long term strategy.
Even with the vaccine keeping safet precautions is still very important. The chance for a variant to infect is slim, but it's there, and not everyone has gotten the vaccine just yet.
See this? This is the type of teachers we need
another example of:
ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS.
It always does. That's the best example to live by. I know these self-righteous do-gooders who think the exact opposite of this are going to disagree with me on this, but who cares.
"That's 3 minutes" is the only reply he got. That's very appreciated.
As a teacher, I fully stand with this man and his words. It's been such a long and tough year, and our supervisors and administration does NOTHING to help. They're all talk and no actions. I'm fed up
Go chill.
If that's the case then maybe you can shed some light. There is strikingly little context to this video and the comment section. Are you all upset because you want to end the masks/barriers/social distancing etc. and return to the old normal, or because you want to extend the restrictions and avoid in person learning?
Appreciate this man
Boss u nailed it and giving courage to many employee🙏
If this man was to speak in conservative asian counties like Singapore. He would be put down by everyone as rude and confrontational! Nobody speaks like this to the management in Singapore.
I admire this guy! We need more people like him!
They did not hear a word he said, they were too concerned about his 3 minutes running out!
We need more legends like this
Why I haven't heard about this in any of the American news channel infact TH-cam recommend me this video ....I really appreciate this teacher who actually stood for the students and spoke out the facts 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for speaking up for teachers everywhere. You were on point. I had to retire early from teaching a few years ago and have regretted it every day until this pandemic. I've been horrified at the disregard for our educators -who also do the work of caretakers, counselors, ect. I wish you much success and happiness in your next endeavor.💚💛
Horrified.... tell me. How many people had the flu this year? How many people died from the flu this year? Do you know? The flu is still here. It killed at least as many people as it always does. So how come those numbers do not exist? Because they where translated into COVID cases and COVID deaths. Regardless of what the people actually died from. You voted for Biden. Enjoy your president. Who is going to bankrupt America, let china take over Taiwan, and step aside shortly to let America have its first female president.
@@unknownperson2422 Trump was the one who did nothing. Go worship on his altar of incompetence and narcissism, I'm sure he represents you perfectly
Um no. Not a pandemic. Never was and considering how over it is in most of the world it ain't coming back. You clearly didn't think this post through. But no not a pandemic
After all that, all they cared about is “it’s been 3 minutes”
You can hear how much he cares
Teachers like this need to open their own private schools where real and caring education matters.
Gee, if only they could *afford it*
The ones in control are never hands on and always make the wrong ego trip decisions to make themselves look good for that next vote in…ugh! Teachers need more respect…they’re raising your children and often protecting them as well
"That's 3 minutes"
They just proved his point
May God bless you , DEAR TEACHER with best of the bests in your life.
Without great Teachers, one can not grow
That teacher should be named minister of Education surely he will direct the resources where they are needed. Bravo brother.
